I feel like the staff and Dr. Brienza were thorough, competent and caring. Thorough check and no pressure—they explain pros and cons well and let you decide before having things done. Great follow up with results.

All staff were incredibly inviting and kind. Dr. Desjeunes took the time to answer all of our questions and put us (and our cat) at ease.

I really appreciated the reassurance that Dr. Caginalp provided in re-assessing the status and size of Charleston's rectal tumor while also addressing his problems with stooling by providing a probiotic. She also took note that he was due for his distemper shot. As to her interaction with Charleston, especially because he is deaf and blind and thus less responsive to others than most dogs, he might seemingly be disconnected or unrelated. Yet Dr. Caginalp treats him as warmly as a dog who'd be wagging his tail and looking happily at her. Can't tell you how much that means to me, because Charleston is truly a very sweet pup of 16+ years. As for contacting the office, I always get the best folks to help with my needs yet I especially enjoy getting MJ on the phone; she's astute, communicates well and is always patient and kind. I also enjoy the vet techs who greet us. Most of all, I am one of many who I know have Dr. Caginalp taking care of their dogs. After 4 decades plus of vets caring for my dogs, she’s numero uno! I am one of many who adore, respect and am tremendously grateful to have Dr. Caginalp as our veterinarian. Her skills and expertise are outstanding yet her interpersonal skills are beyond measure; a truly wonderful person who has a skill that is hard to describe but is definitely something that makes me feel all the better for the experience! In ending, I always feel like everyone there truly cares about my dogs and me nearly as much as I do and there is something that occurs that makes me feel like they're truly connected and empathic with my pups.
